187) ANSWER
D) "My child will need to be home schooled to protect him from injury."

RATIONALE
Children with mild OI may be able to participate in sports, and many are able to participate in swimming. There are no current medications that stop this disease process. There are a variety of surgical procedures that may be done to help strengthen the bones; one is the insertion of intermedullary rods to provide for stability. The child with OI may participate in school, though care needs to be provided to protect this child from injury. The goal of treatment for all children is to promote growth and development. The one action that would limit growth and development would be home schooling.
